Ever since I heard about the production of the “Watchmen” movie and saw the trailer on the big screen, I felt it was something to get excited about. I’m a big fan of the mortal men that stand for morality and justice. The “Watchmen” graphic novel completely deconstructs and redefines the term “superhero” and deals with mature personal issues. It’ll be interesting to see how the heavy symbolism throughout the “Watchmen” comic is distributed through the movie.
Too bad there’s a big chance that the release could get delayed….
Patience is not a virtue that I have
Fox argues it acquired motion picture rights to the
“Watchmen” graphic novel in the last 1980s, and that even
though it relinquished certain rights to the material in 1991
it held onto the right to distribute the first movie. |
Scott Rowe, a spokesman for Warner Bros, said the ruling
only means that the case will go forward. |
“The judge did not opine at all on the merits, other than
to conclude that Fox satisfied the pending requirements,” Rowe
said. “We respectfully disagree with Fox’s position and do not
believe they have any rights in and to this project.” |
Feess’ ruling was issued on Wednesday, in response to
Warner Bros’ request to have the case dismissed. Warner Bros
made the request after Fox sought an injunction against release
of “Watchmen.” |
